'user name': the name of the user whose rights are to be changed (like "Exampleuser"). Leave it blank and list them yourself if you're requesting access for multiple bots.

'discussion': a link to the local vote or discussion about the rights change (for example, "[[ex:Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship#ExampleUser]]").

If anything is missing from your request, a steward will request more information.

Confirmation of identity

Certain permissions (notably CheckUser and Oversight) additionally require users to confirm their identity. Users requesting these permissions must make a request below, and must also submit the relevant identification to the Foundation. The request is placed on hold temporarily, until receipt has been formally confirmed by the office.

Hold off on archiving this please, thanks... there were only 5 votes and the election did not run for very long. Normally elections should run for at least a week and there should be enough supports (and current admins) to show that a 'crat is needed... ++Lar: t/c 16:41, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Thats alright. It can wait for the time that is required. Just wanted to let you all know that there is only one admin available (He has voted too) in the project and all the people voted there as of now are sysops in other ml wiki projects. Thanks. --Jyothis 00:23, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

@Angela, thanks! @Jyothis: You're asking for a 'cratship... but if that should fail for whatever reason please ask for a temporary adminship to help out... Thanks for your understanding as well. ++Lar: t/c 00:47, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

No probs Lar. ml wiki project admins have collectively decided to ramp up the activism in the smaller wikis in the ml language family. The responsibilities will be divided among the active Sysops/BCs of ml wikipedia to shape up each project. We think we are managing a good show with ml wiki, where we have a attained a depth of 138 and 8k+ articles. I am taking the initiative to step up and lead this project as a part of the same. --Jyothis 01:20, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

CheckUser access

To request CheckUser information, see Meta:Requests for CheckUser information. This is the place to request CheckUser access. Note that temporary CheckUser access is not permitted and the temporary status is only used by Stewards.

Stewards: When someone asks for CheckUser status, please check the current policy regarding bestowal of status before giving the status. The current mail template to use to request identification from the new CU can be found here. Do not grant CheckUser access unless the user is identified to the foundation, which will be announced on the Identification noticeboard. Breaching these rules may be cause for removing your steward access. When you give someone CheckUser, please list them on CheckUser, ask them to subscribe to checkuser-l, email checkuser-l-ownerlists.wikimedia.org so that the listadmins know the person is allowed on the mailing list (the list may contain confidential information), and make sure they contact an op for access to #wikimedia-checkuser.

Oversight access

Do not initiate a request for oversight access here. The Arbitration Committee will make the request once there is consensus on the local wiki (this process is currently for en-Wikipedia only).

Stewards: Do not grant Oversight access unless the user is identified to the foundation, which will be announced on the Identification noticeboard. When you give someone oversight access, list them on Hiding revisions.

Removal of access

If you're requesting the removal of your own status, make sure you're logged in to a global accountor place an English note on your local user talk page to prove you own both accounts (and add the diff link of your local confirmation edit to the request).

To request the removal of another user's status, you must gain consensus on the local wiki first. All discussion must be kept on your local wiki. When there is community consensus that the user's access should be removed, a trusted person from that wiki should provide a link here to the discussion, a very brief explanation of the reason for the request, and summarize the results of discussion.

In either case, copy and paste the following text into the correct section (see instructions above).

I am a bureaucrat on nl.wikipedia. Peter b requested on my talkpage the removal of his sysop-access. Please remove sysop-status. Thank you for your help. Chris 21:05, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello, I will ask him for a confirmation (he can do it in nl.wiki even) because he did not request it from a steward directly, maybe he said that after an emotional debate and regrets it tomorrow... just to make sure. Best regards, --birdygeimfyglið(:> )=| 21:39, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Correct way to approach this request. Peter b has answered on his talkpage on nl.wiki. Translation: "Hi birdy, I uphold my request. Thank you for the kind words. Peter b". Chris 23:34, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Done, thanks, I thought I understood it but asked a friend to make sure, without having seen You translated it already :) Best regards, --birdygeimfyglið(:> )=| 23:44, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Stewards: Currently active temporary permissions are listed at /Approved temporary. When granting a request, please copy the request to the appropriate section there, and clearly state the date of removal. Requests only need remain listed below for a few days, and may afterward be removed as long as they have been copied to the subpage.

NamHyHoangPhong@vi.wikiquote

Discussion: Missing link (For now, Vietnamese Wikiquote have only few members who are still activity. So we haven't got community of user to vote or discussion about the rights change. But I would like to be able to delete some pages of the already-blanked, copyright violations, spam, wrong topic, namespace...I would like to be an sysop for Vietnamese Wikiquote).

Please link to the voting. Without a voting you can only get temporary status for 3 months. --Thogo(talk) 19:23, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your suggest about temporary permission. I would like to requests for temporary sysop on the Vietnamese Wikiquote (valid fro one month or three months). One again, Thank you very much indeed! NamHyHoangPhong 06:25, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Please make a local announcement to allow local users eventually to object to this, thanks, --birdygeimfyglið(:> )=| 09:42, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Marbot@pdcwiki

I request the extension of my period as a sysop by six months from January 1, 2009. During the past three months some progress has been made on this wiki. However with the expiry of my access there would still be no active local admin left, since the other admins' last edit was still on June 11, 2008 (only 43 edits this year so far). To my experience somebody with admin access should be active on this wiki. Vandalism is rare but still occurs undetected. In addition I have not completed to streamline appearance and naming of articles. An other field to be taken care of is the copyright status of files which were uploaded. Thank you for your consideration. --Marbot 23:02, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Only think I would like to ask You, please can You make a local announcement of You asking for sysop status, just in case anyone would like to object. Since You did not make a local announcement (note it does not have to be a voting, just leave it in the village pump), I would like to ask You for it this time before we prolong the status. Best regards, --birdygeimfyglið(:> )=| 05:30, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi, no problem at all. I have made an announcement in the village pump (Gmeeschafts-Portal). In addition I have made an announcement on the main page. I have set the time for objections for a fortnight from today. I think, this should be ok. Best regards --Marbot 21:52, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello Marbot, that is just great, thanks, we can leave this here open until then if this is ok with You, best regards, --birdygeimfyglið(:> )=| 22:21, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi birdy, I do not think that this is a matter of choice. :-) Just have a look at the comments on December 30. If there is a serious problem *fear* I will inform you right away. Best regards --Marbot 22:24, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

@ Spacebirdy: Do you mean a voting on pdc: for temp sysopship or the permanent one? I'd recommend Marbot to do the last one. Regards, —DerHexer(Talk) 22:26, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

I think permanent adminship should only be granted after a vote. However, we should wait at least a year until a vote to give Dischdeldritsch time to return (his last action was an June 11, 2008). Best regards --Marbot 22:35, 16 December 2008 (UTC) This is the reason why I asked for 6 and not 3 months.

Yes, I agree, permanent should it be only after a voting, I asked only for an announcement, so other local users could object if they wish to, 2 weeks is maybe a bit long but I don't see a problem here because Marbot has adminstatus now already until then anyway.
